I know at least 6 people who aren't on any Mac or music email lists who who would want to sign the petition.
I don't think we should just ask Digidesign to say that they will provide Voice Over support at some time. There has to be a time frame. Maybe 12 or 18 months otherwise the effort put in to the petition will be worthless. Digidesign could simply promise to make this change at some point in the future. That could end up being 2 3 years down the line if not longer.
